Sec. 115.304  Agencies eligible for contributions funds.

    (a) An agency that has received CB funds for three consecutive years 
is eligible for contributions funding. Contributions funding consists of 
three categories:
    (1) Complaint Processing (CP) funds;
    (2) Administrative Costs (AC) funds; and
    (3) Special Enforcement Efforts (SEE) funds (Sec. 115.305 sets 
forth the requirements for SEE funding).
    (b) CP funds. (1) Agencies receiving CP funds will receive such 
support based solely on the number of complaints processed by the agency 
and accepted for payment by the Director of FHEO during a consecutive, 
specifically identified, 12-month period. Normally this period will be 
the previous year's funding cycle.
    (2) Funding for agencies in their fourth year of participation in 
the FHAP will be based on the number of complaints acceptably processed 
by the agency during the agency's third year of participation in the 
FHAP.
    (c) Administrative Cost (AC) funds. (1) Agencies which acceptably 
process 100 or more cases will receive no less than 10 percent of the 
agency's annual FHAP payment amount for the preceding year, in addition 
to case processing funds, contingent on fiscal year appropriations. 
Agencies that acceptably process fewer than 100 cases will receive a 
flat rate contingent on fiscal year appropriations.
    (2) Agencies will be required to provide HUD with a statement of how 
they intend to use the AC funds. HUD may require that some or all AC 
funding be directed to activities designed to create, modify, or improve 
local, regional, or national information systems concerning fair housing 
matters (including the purchase of state of the art computer systems and 
getting on line or internet access, etc.).
